Westpac’s Full Year 2023 (FY23) Notable Items
Westpac today announced that its reported net profit after tax in FY23 will be reduced by
$173 million due to Notable Items, significantly lower than FY22 Notable Items of $874
million.
The FY23 Notable Items comprise:
Sale of the Advance Asset Management business - $256 million profit.
An increase in provisions for customer refunds, repayments, associated costs and
litigation including costs associated with the one-off levy for the Commonwealth’s
Compensation Scheme of Last Resort - $176 million loss.
Restructuring costs associated with organisational simplification and the
discontinuance of specialist businesses - $140 million loss.
The write-down of assets and costs related to reducing our corporate and branch
footprint - $87 million loss.
Unrealised fair value gains and losses on economic hedges and net ineffectiveness
on qualifying hedges - $26 million loss.
The net impact of these Notable Items was to reduce the Common Equity Tier 1 capital
ratio by 4 basis points.
Details of Notable Items in FY23 are in Appendix 1 and a summary of line-item impacts are
in Appendix 2.
Full Year 2023 results are scheduled to be announced on Monday, 6 November 2023.
